Immortal, I only practice forbidden arts

Chapter 67 Defeat like a mountain

"The granary was burned?"

Jiang Ming was startled, what kind of mob army is this?

The Cangshan Army was able to besiege Jiangnan Prefecture for several months, but it was because the siege was fruitless that they wanted to rely on their abundant supply of food and grass to try to trap Jiangnan Prefecture to death.

No one would have thought that before the Jiangnan mansion was captured, the Cangshan army's own buttocks would have been ordered...

Jiang Ming immediately reacted: "There is an inner ghost in the Cangshan Army?"

The granary is an important place for military strategists, so it must be guarded by masters. Even if the imperial army sent people to sneak in to burn the grain and grass, the open fire would be discovered as soon as it ignited, and it would not burn much...

The only possibility is that there is an inner ghost, and this inner ghost is not young, otherwise he would not be able to make such a big move!
Guan Feng nodded: "You are smart, you guessed it right away... I heard that the grain and grass battalion guarding the granary mutinied collectively, killed a few disobedients, and then secretly used kerosene and spirits in the middle of the night to ignite the fire at the same time. Dozens of granaries... burnt to the ground all at once, and then escaped without a trace while taking advantage of the night!"

"And the imperial army of the Jiangnan Mansion even shot countless arrow feathers tied with paper strips while the flames were soaring into the sky, mocking the Cangshan Army with obscene language, saying that they are homeless orphans who only know how to brag Fighting like a bitch or something..."

Jiangnan is speechless, high-end wars often really only require the most simple operations... Cangshan Army has been besieging the city for several months, and it is also in the cold weather, and the morale of the army is probably the most chaotic time.

This wave of food and grass was burned, coupled with crazy taunts... At this time, the Cangshan Army is probably already battered.

It can only be said that there are still ruthless people in the imperial army, who developed the entire grain and grass camp into undercover agents, but they have been patient until now before they make any moves... It can only be blamed that the Cangshan army is still too young, and was severely manipulated by the imperial army.

"If the imperial army suddenly attacks at this time..." Jiang Ming said suddenly.

"When the news came back, the imperial army's cavalry had rushed out of the city..." Guan Feng glanced at him and sighed: "This time the Cangshan army will shed a layer of skin even if they don't die!"

"Alas..." Jiang Ming also sighed. He didn't care about the success or failure of the Cangshan Army, but if the Cangshan Army was in chaos, these common people would be in trouble.

Although he knew for a long time that the Cangshan Army would be difficult to accomplish, but when this moment came... Jiang Ming still felt a little helpless.

After a while, Jiang Ming bid farewell to Guan Feng, and returned home with the New Year's goods. When they met, they threw Zhou Wenxiu a burden:
"Practice boxing every day, and I've become a savage... The clothes and rouge I bought for you, I'm going to spend the New Year!"

"I don't want it, it's so colorful and ugly..." Zhou Wenxiu snorted, but her mouth was grinning almost to the bottom of her ears.

"Stupid girl..." Jiang Ming shook his head and threw the rest of the things to her: "Clean up, cook quickly...I'm starving to death!"

He himself went back into the house and boiled the best tea happily, ignoring the vicious eyes behind him...

"Now that the Cangshan Army is on the decline, its defeat may only be a matter of time!"

After tea and dinner, Jiang Ming lay dozed in the bamboo chair, but his mind came alive: "The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and those who used to use the Cangshan Army to do their best, it's time to find an opportunity to settle it!"

"Now I'm among the second-rate fighters, and I can be regarded as profound. With the help of the blood-burning knife technique and the triggering of super senses, I may not be able to fight with the first-rate fighters..."

"Of course, it's impossible..."

The head of the city changes the king's flag, sit and watch the prince become a new ghost...

Jiang Ming doesn't want to be an early bird, it's best if he can fish in troubled waters!

……

A few days later, the tavern.

Jiang Ming was sitting at the counter, drinking the good wine specially bought for him by Lao Jiangtou, and listening to many drinkers discussing current affairs.

The news that the Cangshan army granary was burned finally reached here the day before yesterday, causing a commotion immediately.

"The boss Zhu Shi is so shameless, he emptied out my rice shop..."

A slightly neatly dressed middle-aged man was furious, and his body was still covered with beige. It didn't take much guesswork to know that Zhu Shichang led someone to beat him.

Hearing this, Jiang Ming saw that this person was also a herb picker in the past. He was lucky enough to pick Fire Cloud Grass during the Yao Wang turmoil, and sold it to open a shop... He thought he was going to prosper in this way, but he didn't expect to encounter such a catastrophe.

"This is just the beginning..." Jiang Ming whispered in his heart.

According to the news from Guan Feng, the imperial court has dispatched a large army from the capital to cooperate with the defenders of the Jiangnan Prefecture. A total of 50 troops have been forced out of the Jiangnan Prefecture, intending to completely surrender the Cangshan Army.

However, the Cangshan Army caught fire in the backyard again. The northern families and chambers of commerce that had been brought in were supposed to provide the Cangshan Army with food and grass for war preparations...but they jumped ship overnight, cutting off the supply to the Cangshan Army.

Rebellions even broke out in many northern cities, overthrowing the defenders of the Cangshan Army. Even the people who once supported the Cangshan Army the most have become silent now.

Just a few days passed, and the Cangshan Army seemed to be in a precarious situation, ready to capsize at any time.

"This is too much benevolence and righteousness..."

The people will be moved by benevolence and righteousness, and the family will smile at you because of benevolence and righteousness, but benevolence and righteousness alone are not enough to tame them...

Another four or five days passed, and Ping'an Town became more and more chaotic. Zhu Shichang led people to arrest young men on the streets, search for food and silver, and sent them to the front to fight.

It is said that Fucheng is many times more chaotic than Ping'an Town. The Cangshan army looted and killed people everywhere, as if they had changed from a Bodhisattva to a devil all of a sudden...

"Zhu Shichang, I have no food left..."

On this day, Jiang Ming stood at the door, blocked Zhu Shichang's chubby body, and frowned.

Zhu Shichang's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse like a bellows: "Silver, copper plates... I want them all!"

"And you...Master Jiang, would you like to go to the battlefield to fight for glory and wealth?"

Behind Zhu Shichang, two guards quietly took a step forward.

"Zhu Shichang, don't be too impulsive. If you want someone to talk to, I have a lot of hunting tigers..." Jiang Ming said indifferently without panic.

Zhu Shi trembled, and his head seemed to be cleared up. He stared at Jiang Ming for a moment, then turned and left, leading others to other houses.

"You can't do this..." Jiang Ming stared at Zhu Shichang's leaving back, but shook his head.

Now the defeat of the Cangshan Army has been decided, according to the news from Feiyun Castle... the army in front has already become a rout, retreating steadily, beaten like a bereaved dog...

It's not certain whether they can withdraw to Jiangbei, but Zhu Shichang dared to search for money so rampantly...

Jiang Ming thought of this guy's immediate boss, Li Yong. Both of them were sleazy and bad, and they went wherever there was a lot of money. It can be said that they have no loyalty to the Cangshan Army. own pocket...

"I originally planned to go directly to Fucheng and stay at Shi's house!" Jiang Ming said to himself: "But since you dare to find me, then I will give you a ride first!"

Ever since Zhu Shichang came here, he has not missed his protection fee... and he has also stolen several taels of silver from Yu Asheng. Let's count the debt together today.

"This guy, is he going to try to take advantage of the Shi family?" Jiang Ming looked at the direction Zhu Shichang was walking, his eyes moved slightly, and he had already thought of a way to do it.

After telling Zhou Wenxiu that he was going to drink, Jiang Ming just left the house...

　Thanks to the book friend Giant Elk for the reward, the boss is generous, thank you boss!
